The Existential Divide / The more observational of you will remember I put this up awhile ago. And it’s back, slightly different, added text and white not black. I worked on a version with some more emphasis on text woven through it after some people I trust gave some advice. However I went back to a slightly more simplified version as I think that it really shouts on it’s own. That the crisp stark iconic impression of a barcode combined with the ever-so-recognisable, and yet never actually seen in this way, map of the world, cause more avenues of thought than one can reasonably handle without a stiff drink. / But now I’m doing that weird ranting thing about my own work which I normally try and avoid, I like it, and really that’s all that fucking matters. Where’s the whiskey?

What’s within is without and what we are we are not. Investigating the thin (or thick) lines that divide concrete and spiritual reality. I often wonder whether it is possible for us to traverse these boundaries, and if they do indeed exist. It’s a source of constant wonder for me. So this work is really meant to symbolize a sort of existentialist dualism. Dig? / Original work was completed in watercolor and gouache on Arches 180lb. cold-pressed cotton rag.

For most people life is a journey through endless polarities. Good cannot exist without evil; happiness without sadness; wrong without right. As long as one remains within such realm of duality one is always surrounded by opposites and has to choose one over the other. Every choice made is a step in one of two directions. Every step taken leads to a new choice to be made…

Written 3 August 2009. “The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture ‘This is a pipe,’ I’d have been lying!” ~ René Magritte

Oil on canvas, 18” x 14” (457×356mm I’ve borrowed the title of a poem by Samuel Beckett for this painting. I can’t quote the whole poem but here’s a section: at the faint sound so brief / it is gone and the whole globe / not yet bare / the eye / opens wide / wide / till in the end / nothing more / shutters it again

Are you there? Is anyone anywhere? Can you see me? Do you know me? Does anyone remember me? Am I even here at all? How, how can I tell if I am here…. or where… if anywhere? Created from all my own images. Please, as usual, click on the ‘view LARGE’... I think it may be worth the look :))) FEATURED IN ‘CORE’! FEATURED IN ‘SELF AS OTHER’!

It just occurred to me to wonder why she is not dead yet – and this is what came out…. No idea what it means. Maybe it doesn’t mean anything at all. All my own images again… O – just thought I’d add this as a piece of possibly totally irrelevant information – but most of the colour tones in this came from a macro photo of the inside of an oyster shell (The oyster got eaten BEFORE the photo got taken)... Feel free to make of it what you will – though check it out LARGE please – I think it makes a big difference… FEATURED IN ‘CORE’!

I had noticed the exit sign reflection on the clock and was surreptiously taking shots of it. One of them accidentally included the colleague sitting opposite me and I liked the human element it adds. Thisone reminds me of Sartre’s ‘No Exit’. Sometimes, all-day meetings do that to me.
